Relationships are tricky. You have two people who are very independent, now learning how to adjust and figure out how to function with this other person in their life. In my own relationship both of us are pretty independent and function quite well on our own, so there were a lot of rough days where we had to learn to adjust to each other. Here are 11 tips on how to survive a relationship from my boyfriend and me.
1. Communication
Wes: Never ever assume ANYTHING!
